According to ESPN and The L.A. Times, Los Angeles has been selected as the host city for the 2028 Summer Olympics, marking the Games' first return to U.S. soil since Atlanta hosted in 1996. Los Angeles last hosted the Summer Olympics in 1984, having previously been the site of the 1932 Games. The announcement also means Paris will host the 2024 Games, joining L.A. and London as the only cities to host three Olympiads. And as ESPN notes, in an era when few cities want the financial burden that comes with hosting the Olympics, the '84 Olympiad in L.A. was the only one in the modern times to turn a profit.
